Get Inspired: i-D's "The Fifth Sense"
The Fifth Sense

With the arrival of the new year, people feel pressured to create their New Year's resolutions. Personally, I don't care for all the hype, but I do think it's important to set goals for yourself. So after stumbling across one of i-D fashion film project called "The Fifth Sense" on YouTube, I got inspired.

Across five cities in five countries, one of the most-in-demand young photographer's known as Harley Weir captures five creative women at different stages of their young lives, each inspired by the complex characteristics of CHANEL Nº5.

Strength

In Paris, young actress Oulaya Amamra, is guided by her strength and grace from the apartment she shares with her mother to the movie sets where she immerses herself in every character she plays.


“All of your life experience, your stories, that is what makes you complex.”

Identity

In Tokyo, photographer Momo Okabe's technicolor vision of her environment and her perspective on the way in which we create our identities is displayed through her photography as she transforms her subjects' bodies first documented at the bars and backstreets of Shinjuku’s quiet gay scene.


“Categorizing or defining yourself, the question ‘Who Am I,' is just a futile worldly passion.”

Desire

From the highways and beaches of Los Angeles, poet Zariya Allen's journey of youthful self-expression and teenage desire uses her hometown's rhythms to guide her words as she continues to figure out her place in the world.


“There is nothing more women than making the whole ocean move.”

Drive

In Johannesburg, South Africa, dancer Manthe Ribane shares her powerful story of a young woman on the journey of finding herself, alongside her brother and sister, as she is driven to create performances that will honor the memory of their parents and inspire the children of their neighborhood to keep moving forward.


“Don’t be five minutes, be timeless.”

Depth

In Berlin, artist Christine Sun Kim uncovers the profound way in which our senses work together to make meaning of the world through her extraordinary perspective. Born deaf, Christine creates work that asks viewers to think about sound itself, not simply as something we physically hear, but as a concept or even an idea.


"When you speak, you might have a fixed facial expression, but the tone of your voice, it inflicts..."

Focusing on strength, identity, desire, drive and depth, these five women are able to find forms of expression that allow them to not only keep in tune with themselves and those around them, but also celebrate their creativity.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
